  • Virtual item placement system
    Patent number: 11645818
    Abstract: A virtual model placement system can generate virtual floors and virtual walls to correspond to a real-world environment. Virtual items such as doors, windows, lamps, can be placed on the generated virtual walls and the system can generate dynamic updates of the placed items in response to movement by a user's device (e.g., a smartphone moving from right to left). The virtual items can be initially placed as primitives and then rendered to new positions upon the user selecting a render or lock instruction.
    Type: Grant

  • VIRTUAL ITEM DISPLAY SIMULATIONS
    Publication number: 20220172469
    Abstract: A planar placement system can generate virtual surfaces (e.g., floors, walls) to simulate items in an augmented reality display. The system can generate the virtual surfaces using image feature tracking and plane intersection approaches that create an accurate visual simulation. The items simulated can be variable items that have unit data (e.g., rolls of wallpaper) that can be simulated on the virtual surfaces, and unit data can be displayed and updated in real time or near real time on a mobile device, such as a user's smartphone.
